I'd love to have some UofA chicks if anyone wants to sell!

I am in San Diego.

Oh, that is not too far from me.

Comparatively, yes. Though a bit far to meet up. However, shipping chicks will go a lot smoother from in-state. What would you ask per?

Ron,

What are you using to candle your eggs? My very first hatch I had a super HOT candling light and I only hatched six out of 20 eggs. Worse, two of them have severely deformed mouths and their bodies are not right. They are a third the size of their normal sisters and brothers. The next hatch I used a super bright LED flash light and 14 out of 16 hatched. However, I would love to have whatever you are using so that I could watch them like you are doing.

Thanks!

I am using a Brinsea High intensity ova view on the bottom and an led flashlight candler from Incubator warehouse on top(eggs are big end up).

Both of them are cool led lights so they do not cook the eggs. I normally use the Brinsea on the bottom up eggs in the incubator to check the air cell and to look for veins.

Ron you always have the coolest posts!!! Great pics and video. Are the eggs you are incubating 2nd generation from caj1985? They look great. I still have my two hens and one rooster but they are small(previously mentioned mite problem) i really like the birds except the egg size.

Yes, they are from @caj1985 The eggs are all Large to Xtra large in size and they are still pullets.

They are all developing very nicely too.
